KROQ returns to Storm Bear Mountain on Saturday, February 24 with free performance on the deck by Southland punk-inspired reggae band Dirty Heads.

There’s swag on the deck and who knows, maybe powder on the mountain. It’s always a big time party on the slopes with the list of past performers including The Offspring, K Flay, Andrew and the Wilderness and others.

Dirty Heads released the band’s sixth album, “Swim Team,” in October 2017, on the heels of its self-titled 2016 release and 2014’s “Sound of Change” that debuted at the top of Billboard’s Top Alternative Albums Chart. The five-member band started out playing Huntington Beach bars and has become a national touring act.

The smash single “Lay Me Down” topped Alternative Songs chart for 11 weeks and featured Rome of Sublime. Other hits include “Dance All Night,” “That’s All I need,” “Spread Too Thin” and many more.
